"Please have a seat, Miss Zhang." Upon entering the room, Qin Yun was the first to sit across, then looked at the first interviewee with a smile.

Zhang Qinyue's first impression reminded him of Xiao Lan's mother; her resume was so impressive that it made Qin Yun wonder why she would apply here.

After all, her previous salary was definitely no less than three hundred thousand.

But since she came to apply, he was keen to know the reason.

"President Qin, I'd like to inquire about the general development route of your clothing stores. Do you plan to open three stores every month?" Before Qin Yun could speak, Zhang Qinyue asked calmly, directly getting to the point.

Qin Yun nodded, saying: "Yes, on September first, three clothing stores will open; two are forty square meters, and one is two hundred square meters. On October first, it will be roughly the same, and on November first, and so on. We're pursuing the path of chain store development."

Zhang Qinyue nodded, understanding Qin Yun's intentions, and she was also informed about this information.

As for Qin Yun, she saw him as an apparent second-generation rich kid starting a business with family money.

Normally, others would open just one clothing store, then slowly move on to the second and third stores.

Gazing at Zhang Qinyue, Qin Yun inquired, "Miss Zhang, you previously became the deputy general manager in a regional branch of Anta; the salary and benefits should not be worse than what I'm offering, right? I'm quite curious why you applied here."

Zhang Qinyue seemed to anticipate this question, saying: "Anta's benefits are indeed good, but I feel I've reached my limit of growth there, where I have virtually no room for advancement, so I want to venture out on my own."

"Venture out on your own?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun asked in confusion, "Then why did you still apply here, Miss Zhang?"

Doing it alone means starting your own business?

Zhang Qinyue replied, "To be honest with you, President Qin, I want to start my own chain of clothing stores, but I don't have much financial backing."

"Oh?" Qin Yun chuckled, his gaze calm: "So you're here to earn enough money to venture out on your own afterward, Miss Zhang?"

"President Qin misunderstood."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qinyue shook her head and looked at Qin Yun, suddenly pulling out some documents from her handbag.

"This is the chain clothing store development plan I worked on overnight yesterday, based on opening three stores per month and gradually expanding. President Qin can take a look." Zhang Qinyue handed the documents to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun took them and glanced through, visibly showing a hint of surprise.

The plan was very detailed, with extensive analysis on market strategies and other aspects.

If developed according to this model, Celestial Fortune Clothing Stores could quickly expand and potentially achieve profitability in a short period.

After reviewing it, Qin Yun felt satisfied and said, "This plan is excellent, and I would be pleased to have Miss Zhang join my company. What are your conditions, Miss Zhang?"

Even with the Wealth Gathering Array, having a competent manager like Zhang Qinyue would facilitate brand establishment faster.

However, he wasn't foolish; Zhang Qinyue abruptly presented this plan, which wasn't just for the base salary.

Indeed, Zhang Qinyue continued, "President Qin, my conditions are simple. You mentioned a base salary of two hundred thousand and year-end bonuses. I am willing to accept an annual salary of just one hundred thousand."

"Oh?" Qin Yun looked at Zhang Qinyue.

Lowering the base salary intentionally?

He remained silent, and Zhang Qinyue continued: "However, I want something else — ten percent of the shares."

"Shares?" Qin Yun's expression remained steady, betraying no thoughts.

"Yes." Zhang Qinyue nodded, "President Qin has seen my resume and should believe in my capabilities. You just need to provide the funds, and I can handle everything else, so you won't need to worry."

Her meaning was clear: Qin Yun would fund it, holding ninety percent of the shares and wouldn't need to manage anything day-to-day.

Meanwhile, she would hold ten percent of the company shares and manage the company entirely.

"Of course, we can sign the appropriate agreement to stipulate the store's profit margins over specific periods. If targets aren't met, I'll voluntarily reduce my shares. What does President Qin think?" She looked at Qin Yun and asked.

In reality, she had worked at Anta for over ten years. She hadn't thought of resigning until the company suddenly appointed a close relative from elsewhere, aiming for the deputy manager position.

At the Anta branch, she wielded some power, but it wasn't comparable to the top management, making her essentially an upper-level employee.

So, she decided to strike out on her own.

However, starting a clothing store was too challenging without substantial financial support, prompting her search for a partner.

She had submitted resumes, and many large companies approached her, but she declined them all.

Later, she assessed the general situation of Qin Yun's company and deduced that with Qin Yun's expansion model of three stores a month, there must be ample funding, hence her application here.

There weren't many successful in opening clothing stores; more often than not, they shut down shortly. However, she believed with adequate financial backing and her abilities, she could swiftly capture the market and achieve profitability.

She perceived Qin Yun, as a second-generation entrepreneur, wasn't keen on managing the company — both their strengths could complement each other.

Under her gaze, Qin Yun pondered briefly, then shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, I have no current plans to share stocks."

Just kidding, with the Wealth Gathering Array in place, even a small forty-square-meter clothing store could yield tens of thousands in profit monthly. As more stores opened, the profits would only grow. He would be a fool to share stocks with others.

Moreover, the Wealth System needed his account balance to reach a certain figure to upgrade — dividing stocks would reduce his monthly balance increase, slowing the system's upgrade pace.

Therefore, while he could offer a high salary, transferring shares wasn't on the table for now.

"Rejected?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Qinyue was momentarily stunned, as she considered the possibility of rejection quite low.

She didn't linger on it, nodded, and said, "In that case, I'm sorry we don't have the chance to collaborate with President Qin."

Zhang Qinyue stood up and left.

Her purpose for this interview was to acquire shares, and without securing the crucial shares, there was no reason to continue discussions with Qin Yun.
